We’re constantly working towards making Canva the best place to work, for everyone. We believe deeply that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key for building the best product for our equally diverse community all around the world. We celebrate uniqueness and whatever makes you, you and encourage everyone who wants to help us transform the way the world designs, to join us on this journey. We value all different types of experiences. If you don’t think you quite meet all of the qualifications, we’d still love to hear from you.

About Us
At Canva, our mission is to democratise design and empower creativity for anyone and everyone, on every platform. Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture and a remarkable growth trajectory – we’re out to change the world, one design at a time.

Since launch in August 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 75 million monthly active users across 190 different countries who have created more than 6 Billion designs. We are one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies and we have only achieved about 1% of what we want to do.

About the Finance Group

The Finance and Legal Group’s mission is to protect and serve Canva and its key stakeholders; that is protecting Canva from external pressures and risks whilst balancing the need to best serve our teams. The vision is for Canva to be recognised and commended by its peers and stakeholders as having a world-class Finance and Legal team.

About the Corporate Accounting Team

The mission of the Corporate Accounting team is to ensure that financial information withstands external scrutiny in compliance with all local regulations and standards. We are the gatekeepers of externally reported financial information and as the Canva business grows, we are exposed to a broader range of accounting regulations and reporting requirements.

We currently have team members in Sydney and Manila and are looking to continue scaling the team! With expanding operations across the world in multiple jurisdictions, we are looking for a Corporate Accountant who can expand our accounting close processes and assist in the preparation of management estimates and technical accounting positions.

As a Corporate Accountant, you will:

  • Be an owner of the quarterly close process: performing complex accounting estimates and documenting new accounting positions and assumptions
  • Be a significant contributor to audit-readiness: implementing process improvements, applying new accounting standards and identifying opportunities along the way
  • Make complex things simple: applying your technical accounting experience and research skills to Canva’s commercial context
  • Work closely with other finance teams: providing accounting advice and support to the broader finance teams including GL, Shared Services, Tax and FP&A.
  • We would love it if you had:

  • 3-6 years of relevant Accounting in either a professional services environment or in-house role with audit and financial reporting exposure
  • CA / CPA Qualified or equivalent
  • Practical experience supporting multiple clients, jurisdictions and regulations
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills
  • We are looking for an expert of their craft, an investigator, a team player and a collaborator!
  • Professional experience related to or working within a similar industry or high growth company
  • Being a Force for good

    One of our core values at Canva, “Being a force for good” means we are actively working towards a world that isn't just good for a small few, but one that’s good for everyone. We believe deeply that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key for building the best product for our equally diverse community. To achieve this, we need to constantly work towards making Canva the best place to work, for everyone.

    We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion. If you’re keen to apply and need reasonable adjustments or would like to note which pronouns you use at any point in the application or interview process, please let us know.
